Do you remember
When trees were green?
No one around
Nothing in between

My parents would assure me that I’d be okay
But the truth is….

I wasn’t.

Can you remember
Under the rain?
When I was little
Didn’t know of pain

You’d be by my side
Guiding me to the light
I tried to see it
I tried to hide

I remember the agony
Overpowering my hope
You were there to encourage
But my mind couldn’t cope

I remember…
All the things you said
About looking forward
And not looking back

The days passed by...
I tried to speak my mind
Forcefully thinking
But my thoughts wouldn’t abide

Do you remember
When the sun set
How calm it was
When we first met?


I remember…
Becoming nervous
Forgetting my purpose

Do you remember
The things they said
How the words cut
And got to your head?

I stood up for you
Standing by your side
Just like you did
When I was deprived

I held you
Every time you were weak
When you couldn’t move
When you couldn’t speak

Do you remember…
When it went too far?
We kept raising the bar....

But it wouldn’t budge.

Issues arose
Reflecting anger and hate
Like fatal blows
I thought it was fate…

I remember...
When things got deep
Thinking of you to put me to sleep

Engulfed in tears
Full with fears
At that moment
My life seemed bleak

Do you remember…
When rules were disobeyed?
We were finally free
From all the pain
I remember…
My hope hanging by a thread
Almost cut forever
By my own dread

At that moment
All my worries dissolved
Just you and me
Nothing else at all

A sense of ease
Pursued by silence
The gentle breeze
Providing guidance

Alas...

The agony vanished
Relief returned
Stress reduced
Hate burned

The trees turned green
No one was around
Nothing was in between
Calmness was found

Worries have gone
Peace has dawned
Today has ended
Along with the sorrow
Until…

Tomorrow.
